Brakes

Post by 84SwbPatrol »

Ok guys i knows it got nothign to do with 4wds but has anyone out there got or know anyone who has a VN commodore?
in the past 2 and a bit yrs of owning it i have just gone thru my 3rd set of front pads.
Last set were bendix thinkin they would last but they have only lasted about 4 months... not driving it as hard as i could be....
i just think that it is going through pads a bit to quick so any ideas before i chuck on yet another set :roll:

Check your rear calipers, they may not be working properly.

Yeah i put new pads on the back last time as they were buggered so im pretty sure they are working ( i hope)
i think i might take it down the road and get them checked out cause now come to think of it it doesnt really pull up to well :x
